Website
Hello, what type of license do the images on this site have? Can I use them in wikipedia? Your admirer --AngryBiceps (talk) 21:09, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
- If there is no specific license stated for modern images on a website, assume they are copyrighted and not suitable for Commons. (English language wikipedia allows some limited "fair use" of copyrighted material, but not here on Commons.) Cheers, -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 21:21, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

Typo in Media of the day for January 1st
It says "Loopend gif" instead of "Looped gif". —andrybak (talk) 22:09, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
Done Yann (talk) 22:14, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
- Nope, you changed "looped" to "loopend" in the filename, which I've undone (including undoing CommonsDelinker's replacements of the file, including at my enwiki user talk page archive where I noticed this. I've also gone and fixed the typo properly at the description page and at Template:Motd/2022-01-01 (en). Graham87 (talk) 03:38, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
Is Pixabay OK
Is the Pixabay license sufficiently open to allow pixabay images to be used in the commons? I specifically want to use a particular pixabay image for a Wikiversity course. Thanks!--Lbeaumont (talk) 14:23, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
